Yes that would be a horrible precedent especially when we're trying to get nations like Brazil to stop cutting down the Amazon but I was led to believe that tropical rain forests are more important than temperate rain forests are? Preserving the Amazon always seems to take precedence over everything else. The only short term modification we can do that I can think of is to simply restrict people from building in that area and forcing those who already have to move out. It's too dangerous for people to live in those areas and puts firefighter lives at risk when they have to come rescue them.

wtf and I just saw he weenied Don! I mean, WHO DOES THAT?! lol yea those OT things are far worse, but I was shocked to see anyone weenie Don. Think that might be you-know-who who keeps coming back under new names? Their listed location seems to match.

Thats the storm Lee Goldberg talked about today.

The problem is according to my physicist friend it will take too long (decades) to stop the fires even if we started reducing carbon and methane right now which is why he wants the trees thinned which would lessen the imminent fire threat that gets worse every year. The area is probably going to be a vast desert soon enough anyway, Nature is headed in that direction over there and those trees would be very out of place in a desert. It reminds me of the Sahara, which is expanding southward. The other option is to simply make people move out of the urban-wildlife interface zone and not allow people to build homes there at all.

Looks like the Three Stooges have some competition for best slapstick comedy I missed it damn it!
-
haha the Three Stooges were always my favorite growing up and decades later their slapstick humor has stood the test of time.
-
This one suits him much better lol

We are like a regular Who's on First, What's on Second and I Don't Know's on Third crew lol. https://www.baseball-almanac.com/humor4.shtml

According to Lee Goldberg's map, this hurricane Larry will make landfall as a 75 mph hurricane near the eastern edge of Labrador, he said it will then race up to Greenland and be a HUGE snowstorm/blizzard up there!

It makes one wonder if it's even possible for them to ever not be very dry, they've been so dry for so long that I've thought that the area might no longer be able to support the vegetation it now has. A physicist who lives in WA half jokingly told me you want to stop all these horrendous forest fires? Chop down the trees and thin them out a lot, you get rid of the trees you won't have the fires anymore. He was only half joking- he's tired of them too and sees no other options. Do you think it'll come down to that one day, Don, will they start thinning out the trees there to stop the fires? No fuel, no more fires.....
-
These fires are still burning even after all that historic rainfall? Wow
-
and continuous yearly records from 1869, Don? Thanks! -
I like heat but not humidity and would go to extremes to get rid of humidity. (Cant we just siphon it off into space? I wonder how Mars did it? LOL)
-
heat is different from humidity. Time to start draining the oceans and use that water dammit
-
hey Don when did NYC start measuring hourly rainfall? I thought it was 1943 for hourly rainfall and 1868 for daily rainfall? Thats what some sites mention anyway. Has it just been a continuous hourly record of rainfall since 1943?
-
What they have to point out is September actually IS summer- most of it anyway. Fall doesn't start until after three weeks of September.
-
Surprised it's September and October, I thought it would be December with how warm recent Decembers have been.
-
for some odd reason Lee Goldberg just made a sort of prediction 7 days out that next Friday a tropical system may be along the east coast and be bringing us rain. Really shocked that he would do that a week out.

Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change
LibertyBell replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
So basically in the Foundationverse, a group of people, unassuming when you look at them, would gain an audience with the heads of fossil fuel companies by mentally "influencing" a few politicians here and there. Once they had these people in the same room, they would tinker with their brains to make them slowly but surely end their deceitful and damaging businesses and give way to the future. -

Asimov and psychohistory would have a lot to say about this. The truly enlightened knew this was coming back in the 80s and even the 70s and prior. In psychohistory, history is predictable if humans are treated as gas particles which follow the gas laws. The more humans, the easier it is to predict their behavior en masse. At the same time, changes to a select few people whether it be by providing them with relevant information, or by more nefarious means (Asimov's Foundation series used mental techniques to change powerful people), caused a cascade reaction that changed all of human society. And that was across an entire galaxy, it should be even easier to do it in a time when humanity only lives on one planet. Even if nefarious means are necessary, in these existential cases the ends do justify the means. -
It would be interesting to learn about a typhoon that hit Hokkaido and produced a blizzard lol. I suppose the same has happened on the Atlantic side in Maine or farther north.
-
Good info right there Will! What's the farthest north a hurricane has ever made landfall?
-
Saturday looks like it will be amazing and Saturday night will be nice and cool, but back to the heat again after that.
-
Hey John what's your sci fi book about? Does it have potential as a series? Anything about long distance interstellar travel in it?
-
wow October 2019 blows everything else away for latest 90+ But 1983 hit 98 there in September 1983
